Erick Erickson commented on SOLR-4718:
--------------------------------------
There is no problem I can't make unnecessarily complex...
Let me take a whack at it, as you say given the assumptions it's pretty
straight-forward.
Here's the rules then:
a> solr.xml is a local file. Apply local solr.properties only if new-style
(changes when we stop supporting old-style solr.xml). Stop
b> zkhost is specified as a sysprop. Read solr.xml from ZK. If found, apply
local solr.properties (if any) and stop.
c> zkhost is specified in local solr.properties. Use it to get solr.xml from
ZK. If found, apply local solr.properties (if any) and stop
d> Use the current hard-coded old-style solr.xml file. Do NOT apply any local
solr.properties (this will change when we stop supporting old-style solr.xml).
> Allow solr.xml to be stored in zookeeper

> Key: SOLR-4718
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SOLR-4718
> Project: Solr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Schema and Analysis
> Affects Versions: 4.3, 5.0
> Reporter: Erick Erickson
> Assignee: Erick Erickson
>
> So the near-final piece of this puzzle is to make solr.xml be storable in
> Zookeeper. Code-wise in terms of Solr, this doesn't look very difficult, I'm
> working on it now.
> More interesting is how to get the configuration into ZK in the first place,
> enhancements to ZkCli? Or boostrap-conf? Other? I'm punting on that for this
> patch.
> Second level is how to tell Solr to get the file from ZK. Some possibilities:
> 1> A system prop, -DzkSolrXmlPath=blah where blah is the path _on zk_ where
> the file is. Would require -DzkHost or -DzkRun as well.
> > pros - simple, I can wrap my head around it.
> - easy to script
> > cons - can't run multiple JVMs pointing to different files. Is this
> really a problem?
> 2> New solr.xml element. Something like:
> <solr>
> <solrcloud>
> <str name="zkHost">zkurl</str>
> <str name="zkSolrXmlPath">whatever</str>
> </solrcloud>
> <solr>
> Really, this form would hinge on the presence or absence of zkSolrXmlPath.
> If present, go up and look for the indicated solr.xml file on ZK. Any
> properties in the ZK version would overwrite anything in the local copy.
> NOTE: I'm really not very interested in supporting this as an option for
> old-style solr.xml unless it's _really_ easy. For instance, what if the local
> solr.xml is new-style and the one in ZK is old-style? Or vice-versa? Since
> old-style is going away, this doesn't seem like it's worth the effort.
> pros - No new mechanisms
> cons - once again requires that there be a solr.xml file on each client.
> Admittedly for installations that didn't care much about multiple JVMs, it
> could be a stock file that didn't change...
> For now, I'm going to just manually push solr.xml to ZK, then read it based
> on a sysprop. That'll get the structure in place while we debate. Not going
> to check this in until there's some consensus though.
